Is it possible to read the browser-windowsize using php

mingo

I'm playing around doing a resizable popup window for my panorama.

The idea is to have it load different sized pano.jpg depending on the actual size of the window.

To see what I mean you can have a look at

where I've tried to do using javascript.

Now each browser/OS has its own way of reading javascript - so I'd rather do it using php.

I just can't find a PHP-way to read the width and height from the popup window.

Can anyone help me - or is it not possible ?

I think it's not posible because PHP work on the server not in the client. It's only posibe with javascript.

not directly....

the browser does not send the size of the window allong with the request...

you could however make javascript trigger an onResize() handler: this could
1) set the document.form.myFormName.inputName.value = 'the windows size'
2) document.form.myFormName.submit()

this would reload the page an pass it the size of the window...

this however is stupid... so don't do it.. but you can

you could also use the image trick...

have a php scripts that returns an image not an html document...

have javascript load into an image on the page
yoursite/image.php?winHeight=100&winwidth=200

the image it returns could then have some information in it that you could have javascript read, then react to the page....
